My subject in 3 words: individuality, friendship, closeness. A sentence: A look into the lives of some of my friends and the world around us. Paragraph: My project is centered the intention to create a photo-book which is based on specific people in my life and what makes them an individual, I want this to also center around the theme of youth culture. Each picture/section of my book is about one person and their features/interests and things that make them who they are. I also plan to have pictures which break theme in the book to act as a barrier between each portrait,etc.

The plan for my photo-book is to have it hardback if possible and smooth feeling with a simple clean looking cover, I just want it to be completely black the title somewhere on it. I am planning on having just black and white ‘premium lustre’ pages, for my images which are mainly darker with a lot of black I will be using a white page, and the other way round for the lighter images. I also plan on having a mostly classic layout with a single image per page with a blank page opposite, with the exception of some double page spreads and ones with 2 images. Format, size and orientation: I think that I am going to keep my book portrait and just use a double spread for the larger landscape photos. The size will be standard portrait: 25x20cm.

Front cover: Above is the image which I created by hand and later on Photoshop which will act as my front cover, blending in with the black on the rest of the outside.

Title: ‘NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN US’ This is the title that I derived after looking at the Tupac Shakur poem of the same title, I also added this as the first page in my book.

Design and layout: This aspect can be seen on a previous blog-post: https://hautlieucreative.co.uk/photo20al/2020/02/12/completed-photo-book/s
